For the past two years the RepuMicans have been blaming their governmental failures on the Democrats. They have accused the opposition party of hamstringing the President with their criticisms, of having intensified the economic depression by fighting the Smoot-Hawley tariff, and of being responsible for the failure of the Federal Farm Board because they were convincing the farmer that his mortgages were realities while the Republicans havej been urging that the crash of his products below the costj
of production was merely an abstraction.
It will be interesting to watch what they are going to say in the matter of the President’s international ventures —the debt moratorium and the negotiations, or conversational to be more diplomatically accurate, with Premier Laval of France. Of course, if these measures turn out to be successful they will be hailed as personal accomplish-
lief might accrue to the Wilson administration. They bait-Adams said, and approached his' ; ed and badgered the President on his sick bed over the Mex- car - He thought they were hi ican situation, in which performance Senator Albert Fall, j ack ei’s. He was ordered to throw

Democratic side of his more or less intangible understandings with Prime Minister Laval. If the President’s ideas are confirmed by legislation, it can only be with help of Democratic votes. While, of course, there exists no agency in the Democratic party that can pledge in advance the ballots of U. S. Senators and Representatives, there is every indication of sympathetic action on the Democratic side. It does not follow that they will accept letter for letter the President’s recommendations, but in regard to the broad principles the Democrats have indicated that they will go along with every measure, particularly of international concern, that is demonstrably conducive to our welfare and the
welfare of the world generally.
The Democrats in the coming Congress have potentially as great a veto power as had the Republican majority in the Congress during the last years of the Wilson administration. Woodrow Wilson also was conducting portentous negotiations with foreign nations. There was no thought on the Republican side at that time of such cooneration as the Democrats have volunteered during the present emergency. In the foreign field and in the domestic field, the Republic

BLACKSTONE COMING SOON. # . Blackstone and his big necromantic extravaganza is announced as the headline attraction at the Rivoli Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. The favorite now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t man promises to disclose a program of many new and intriguing features. For his tour of the varieties he has culled the most imposing of the spectacular illusions shown in his road show. “Blown into Eternity” is credited with being the most pretentious of Ihe many mystifying exhibits. The illusion is based on an incident of the Sepoy mutiny in India. Blackstone is fastened to the mouth of a cannon with yards of hempen thongs. His captors ignite (lie lethal weapon. Comes a blinding flash—an ear wracking detonation —the figure at the eannon’t mouth collapses—and in a trice at the
opposite side of the stage is Blackstone himself. The Blackstone program runs nearly an hour in itself. Among the lights of his contributions may be included, “Butterflies of the World,” “Rainbow Waters,’ “The Ghost Handkerchief,” “Duck Inn,” “Fiesta of Flowers,” “Mystic Glass of Osiris,” “Qivls from Nowhere,” “A Child’s Dream'of Toyland” and “The Tramp and the Bear.”
